There are actors who use thousands of clichés prepared in advance for their roles. American actress Kelly Overton does not recognize patterns - she plays on a hunch, intuitively. And therefore, the images she creates are so deep and psychologically brightly colored.
Kelly Overton was born in 1978 in the small city of Massachusetts - Wybragame. Parents from an early age saw their daughter the gift of reincarnation: she could portray anyone. Therefore, performances were often organized in their house and various stories were played, where Kelly was assigned only the main roles.
Therefore, she knew for sure that after school she would enter the Academy of Dramatic Art. And so it happened - a talented girl easily entered the theater university and was educated by the actress in 1999.
Movie career
Immediately after graduation, Kelly was invited to the series "All My Children." The debut was successful, and roles in television series were provided to her. However, Overton wanted to star in a serious movie, and in 2003 she was lucky to play a small role in the film "Family Values". The actress was dissatisfied with this work and was disappointed in herself, but not for long.
Soon offers from series producers began to arrive, and she went headlong into endless filming. For several years she starred in such series as Thinking Like a Criminal, Detective Rush, Crime Scene - Miami and others.
Kelly Overton received real fame after the release of the series "True Blood" (2008). She played one of the many vampires of a small town, and yet somehow stood out from the general series of actors. The horror series was a resounding success. Film critics noticed the unusual way of presenting the image, and appreciated it. The series received several prestigious awards.
The overwhelming nature of Overton did not allow her to rest on her laurels, and she decided to start producing. By 2008, she already starred in box office films, had a good reputation among producers and directors, but she also wanted to try to make a film.
She began to shoot the film "Collective", becoming its screenwriter, producer and director. The film was released in 2008, and the creators really hoped for its success, but it did not work out. The film was favorably received by critics as a directorial debut, but the audience reacted to it coolly.
Then Kelly put off her dreams about the director’s career for the future and returned to filming in the series, because as an actress she felt much more confident on the set. Moreover, proposals for different roles were received constantly. For example, her latest work is the series Legends (2015) and Van Helsing (2016), where she played the daughter of the legendary monster hunter Vanessa Helsing.
